Multiple choice

In each of the following questions two equations are given. You have to solve both the equation and find out the values of x and y and Give answer - I. (3x^2 – 13x + 14 = 0) II. (y^2 – 7y + 12 = 0)

  1. If x > y

  2. If x < y

  3. If x ≥ y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. x = y or the relationship can not be established

B Correct answer
Explanation

For equation I: 3x² - 13x + 14 = 0 factors to (3x - 7)(x - 2) = 0, giving x = 2 or x = 7/3. For equation II: y² - 7y + 12 = 0 factors to (y - 3)(y - 4) = 0, giving y = 3 or y = 4. Comparing all values: both x values (2, 2.33) are less than both y values (3, 4), so x < y is always true.
